Halloween Birthday Cake



Before and After

Simply Sweet

Just a simple cake for a baby shower.

A Special Birthday Cake!

My friend instant messaged me Wednesday evening telling me her son had wanted a Lego cake, that she felt confident she could do, until that day when he declared a new idea for a cake.  "He wants a hammer head shark and turtles. Can you help me?"  I love a challenge and I got to work.  It was done and ready for his Saturday birthday party.  This was so much fun.  Thanks Kenton for changing your mind, and thanks Melissa for thinking of me!! 

The Stork

 






My dear friend is having baby number 6.  Congrats Lisa! So happy for you and Jon. 

The feet picture is what I sent as a teaser to the people coming to the party. 

Ruffles ~ the First Attempt

 

We had a baby shower tonight for a dear friend so I decided I would try to make ruffles.  The ruffles definitely got better as I went along.  There are a few things  I will do different next time but over all I am pretty happy with it!

Ninja Style

A friends darling daughter planned herself a ninja birthday party.  I was super excited to do something different so I set out on my first cake pop experience.  Instead of chocolate, I covered these in frosting with a little meringue to help them set a bit. They were lots of fun and now I am not so afraid of cake pops!!

Pioneer Day meets the Birthday Boy!

The 24th of July is Pioneer Day in Utah.  Sure I don't live there any more but some traditions fall hard.  We had a picnic at church to celebrate this day and were asked to bring a dessert to share.  One of the boys at church's birthday happens to fall on this same day.  SO... what a great excuse to make a cake.  I had no idea what I would do but it just took on a life of its own.  The smile on his face was worth every minute!  Happy Birthday Neal!
